8 months

Jackson turned 8 months last week. He doesn't ever stop moving, so this was the best I could do for a picture. He has like four teeth coming in at one time which explains the surly face. He is so miserable with the teething that I have taken him to the doctor twice to make sure the screaming wasn't related to something else.

Jackson stats: He weighs17 lbs, usually sleeps from 6:30PM until 5am, has a bottle and goes back to sleep until 7 or 8. (I have now jinxed myself and no doubt he will awake like 6 times tonight. ) He does not like baby food in the form of chicken, green beans, or peas. He does love baby puffs, broken bread, and any other table food he can get his hands on. He likes to put everything in his mouth, he crawls very fast and pulls himself up on the couches. Lilly is still his best entertainment and when I try to change his diapers he rolls over and crawls away before I can even think about the diaper. Jackson likes it when we sing to him, but he would rather eat the books when we try to read to him.
